What hardware do you use?

I spend most of my time working on a quad-core i7 15" MacBook Pro. It's the only computer I use, for both work and play. Using a single machine for everything is a bit of a pipe dream for me — I maintained a crazy cluster of computers in college.

It has 16GB of RAM and 1.25TB of storage. 250GB is provided by an Intel 520 SSD and 1TB is provided by a Western Digital HDD mounted in the optical bay with an OptiBay.

I also love to making music. My favorite piece of hardware is definitely my Teenage Engineering OP-1 portable synthesizer. I take it with me everywhere I go. It's one of the best interfaces I've ever seen. For my home studio, I use a MicroKORG as a MIDI controller and a Monome Greyscale 64. I use a Blue Yeti condenser mic for podcasts.
